Answer 1

The main idea that a story is built on. A universal truth of the human heart.

Theme is the basic message of the story, like the morals of Aesop's Fables. You can find theme by asking yourself 'What is the author trying to tell the readers?" or "What is the message of this story?" It's not usually stated directly, but you can find the theme by looking for things that are stressed or repeated in the story. The official definition of the word theme is "the subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic."
